yellow tang

Rate this Entry
i am looking to add some fish. Since i have had prior problems with semi-aggressive fish, i typically stick to only peaceful fish. I am definately getting a heptus tang (spelling) and would also love to add a yellow tang at the same time. the yellow tang does say semi-aggressive especially toward other tangs.

I see these two together in alot of tanks. Does anyone have experience with both or how aggressive a yellow tang really is.
I really dont want to put him in my tank then have to rip the tank apart a month later to get him out.

thanks

    I've not kept a Yellow Tang yet. I bought one many years ago, and it was dead within 24 hours because of the other tangs bullying him into a corner. It was unexpected, and I couldn't even get him into a quarantine tank soon enough - I thought I'd have time to do it the next day. By then there was a pile of snails devouring him.

    I can't speak for other tangs, but my yellow has never shown any agression toward any other species of fish. My clowns are far far more agressive.
